Go, Johnny, Go! The Real McCain is back in town--It's Maverick Time!

[Correll]

but most understand that a 'hero' is someone that risks their lives to save others.

Moron, I'm no big fan of McCain's politics,BUT the guy refused to be let go by the Viets until ALL prisoners were to be released.

Besides that any criticism of a POW from a draft-dodger like the scum bucket Trump, is automatically bullshit.

did you miss the part where I said He may very well have suffered as a POW? But as I understand it, he didn't suffer half as much as most other POW's. I may be wrong, but I don't think so. He has spent the last 40(?) years capitalizing on his POW status, but what has he ever done in office to help other veterans?


I am not criticizing his POW as much as I am of a man that has been in politics for years and hasn't done anything for anyone but himself in all that time. That man can flip faster than a stack of pancakes at IHOP.

And yes, he is racists......against 'gooks'.....he even said so himself on local tv during his brief run for Pres

1. I have never heard him reference his POW status in my life.

2. Someone who has been literally tortured for years, gets a pass on harsh language.

McCain was distrusted and needed to be ousted before obama was a household name

Take THAT up with Arizonans......LOL

Opinion | John McCain: It’s time Congress returns to regular order

The real John McCain disappeared periodically after he lost the 2008, replaced by a bitter old copy of John McCain. Now that the Maverick American hero is back, I only wish he had got here this time last year…

Here's the WP piece the great senator from Az:

Americans recoiled from the repugnant spectacle of white supremacists marching in Charlottesville to promote their un-American “blood and soil” ideology. There is nothing in their hate-driven racism that can match the strength of a nation conceived in liberty and comprising 323 million souls of different origins and opinions who are equal under the law.

Most of us share Heather Heyer’s values, not the depravity of the man who took her life. We are the country that led the free world to victory over fascism and dispatched communism to the ash heap of history. We are the superpower that organized not an empire, but an international order of free, independent nations that has liberated more people from poverty and tyranny than anyone thought possible in the age of colonies and autocracies.

Our shared values define us more than our differences. And acknowledging those shared values can see us through our challenges today if we have the wisdom to trust in them again.


By the way, Russian hacker bots are already going after John McCain mass tweeting and posting negative attacks… That's Russia. The country Trump doesn't do business with….

To those who call McCain a RINO -- STOP BEING COWARDS AND GO FORM YOUR OWN PARTY. you can see there are plenty of you now. Get off your ass and go rent some space set up an HQ.

Remember how the left turned on McCain when he became a problem for them in 2008?


And now that he is back to being a problem for the republicans, they pretend that that never happened.


We already knew that lefties were vile soulless monsters.

But, that McCain, would play ball with these fuckers after the way they betrayed him, shows him to be a bitch.

Democrats did not vote for him

Republicans threw him under the bus when he lost

Mmm, of course democrats did not vote for him. He was running as a republican, and gave them no reason to vote for him.


Republicans threw him under the bus?

What are you talking about?

After the election, Republicans rallied around dimwit Palin while they blamed McCain for their embarrassing loss

Read this board
It is conservatives attacking McCain

McCain has been an asshole to conservatives long before and since that election.


THe real story is not that they turned on him after the election, but that they respected his primary win and supported him at all.

It's not difficult to understand why conservatives don't like McCain. We can only be lied to and stabbed in the back so many times

He has a disease in his brain. Odds are he can and will forget quite a bit before the end

Do you mean like Reagan in his last few years in office???

Nope. Didn't mention Reagan.

Is English your second language?

 

[nat4900]

Nope. Didn't mention Reagan.

Well, you should have when mentioning an elected official with a brain disease.....The fact that you did not, is why you're known as a dishonest prick......LOL

1. I have never heard him reference his POW status in my life.

2. Someone who has been literally tortured for years, gets a pass on harsh language.

1.) Maybe/maybe not........but everyone else has, especially during his campaign. Would/could he have ever made it in politics on his own? Wasn't with the help of his father and/or his military 'experience'? He doesn't have to say anything about his POW status, it follows him no matter what and others have glorified it for him to his benefit.

2.) Not if you're running for President. You have to be President of ALL the people. During his campaign he was interviewed by a local Asian reporter in a state with an Asian Governor and he was asked about his military service & being a POW and how he felt about it. He blatantly said 'I hate them. I hate all gooks' and may have went so far to say they could all die for all he cared.

Yes, under the circumstances of his own experience, it is understandable of how he feels.........but IMHO, you keep your mouth shut if you're running for President. Just as everyone screams about Trump having to be President & govern ALL the people of this nation.............so would McCain if elected.

And believe it or not, I was going to vote for him until that interview

 

[Correll]

Nope. Didn't mention Reagan.

No, pretty obvious you are the one being a prick.



And what were you doing during the 2008 campaign when your lefty buddies in the media were smearing the shit out of McCain.


Or when your buddy Obama was claiming thaT McCain was running a racist campaign?

 

[rightwinger]

What would have happened, if the media had treated McCain with the same "Respect" that they normally show him, during the campaign?

Media was fine with McCain during the campaign
He was treated like the American hero he is

It is Trump who showed him and fellow POWs no respect

Well, he can't be held "responsible" for the fact that people consider his history when they judge him.

I am not gong to judge someone who was literally tortured for years, for having harsh language regarding those who tortured him.

Anyone who does, imo, is a wrong to do so.

Especially as there is no evidence that this ever affected his job, up to and including voting for trade with Vietnam.


And I say this as someone who dislikes him greatly.

Opinion | John McCain: It’s time Congress returns to regular order

The real John McCain disappeared periodically after he lost the 2008, replaced by a bitter old copy of John McCain. Now that the Maverick American hero is back, I only wish he had got here this time last year…

Here's the WP piece the great senator from Az:

Americans recoiled from the repugnant spectacle of white supremacists marching in Charlottesville to promote their un-American “blood and soil” ideology. There is nothing in their hate-driven racism that can match the strength of a nation conceived in liberty and comprising 323 million souls of different origins and opinions who are equal under the law.

Most of us share Heather Heyer’s values, not the depravity of the man who took her life. We are the country that led the free world to victory over fascism and dispatched communism to the ash heap of history. We are the superpower that organized not an empire, but an international order of free, independent nations that has liberated more people from poverty and tyranny than anyone thought possible in the age of colonies and autocracies.

By the way, Russian hacker bots are already going after John McCain mass tweeting and posting negative attacks… That's Russia. The country Trump doesn't do business with….

To those who call McCain a RINO -- STOP BEING COWARDS AND GO FORM YOUR OWN PARTY. you can see there are plenty of you now. Get off your ass and go rent some space set up an HQ.

Oh really?? I can recall in 2008 he was evil incarnate running against Saint Obama. So take you lying left wing diatribe and shove it.

This thread is about McCain. Your oddity is noted.


I asked a question. What would have happened if, when certain lefties started pushing the lie that McCain had "changed" or was always this or that, (ie unstable or racist)


what if the media had responded like they normally did when people insulted their pet RINO?

What if they had waxed poetic about him being a Maverick and a War Hero?


What would have happened?
